Wistful Wednesday: Christmas 1971

This photo was taken at my parents home at the farm in 1971.

Christmas 1971

Far Guy holding Snuffer our dog. The lady laughing is Far Guy’s Aunt Beryl…she was widowed in January of 1971 (Uncle Ron was just 52 years old when he died.) My Dad with a big grin on his face is handing Beryl a snow shovel with a poinsettia on it. My other baby brother ( age 11) and my sister (age 5) look on.  I believe that Aunt Beryl had complained about an old beat up snow shovel.

Far Guy is holding Snuffers muzzle to keep her from barking…she was a great watch dog!  She was just a few months old.  She was a $5 mutt part Scottie that Far Guy bought at a garage sale for my birthday. ( Snuffer lived a good long time and helped raise our girls to like animals.)

I believe that this photo was taken on Christmas Eve 1971.  Far Guy had a lot more hair back then…we were both college students at Moorhead State College now Minnesota State University Moorhead.
